Kaori's POV

I gently knocked three times on the door slowly, our code for "it's me." A moment later the door opened. "Hi angel, long time no see," Keigo smirked at me as he opened the door. I rolled my eyes and smiled at him, "You're a dork." "The sexiest dork around," he winked at me as I walked in. He closed the door behind me as I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, whatever makes you sleep at night, bird." He acted fake offended like my comment deeply wounded him. He strutted past me like he was mad, his nose up in the air away from me to be dramatic. I chuckled, slightly shaking my head at his attitude. He stopped when he was in the middle of the living room, next to a bookshelf. He turned towards me and stretched out his wings fully, "I sleep great at night!" he declared, before his wings hit the bookcase with a lot of force. I burst out laughing at his panicked expression as it wobbled. Before rushing over and catching it as it began to fall on him. But neither of us was fast enough to stop all the books coming flying off and hitting him. If I wasn't laughing hard before - I definitely was now, "Oh my god, you're such an idiot!" I laughed as he grimaced as all the books hit him in all of his worst places. Lucky enough, he sent a feather to catch the book about to hit his little buddy. "Haha, very funny," he remarked, before a small smile broke out on his face. He started laughing too, both of us sharing the weight of the half fallen ~ now empty ~ bookcase. Suddenly a large explosion was heard behind us, and the loud bang of the apartment door hitting the wall. "What the-?" Keigo began as smoke filled the apartment. Minutes later, the smoke cleared, revealing a fuming Kacchan and a green electrified Izuku. I shared a glance with Keigo, both of our faces pale as we realized how close we were and what it looked like to them. "Really Kaori?! Cheating on us with Hawks?! Aren't you supposed to be kidnapped by Phantom?!" Katsuki snarled, his eyes bright red with fury, his hands sparking. Izuku seemed to have a whole other look to him as he was so mad. "W-wait a minute, t-this isn't what it looks- like... how the hell do you know that?!" I exclaimed as I realized what he said. "That's what that meeting was about. Hawks' disappearance," Izuku finished, his voice oddly calm for his facial expression. I shared another glance with Keigo, unspoken words traveling between us. "Do you want to explain yourself, Kaori? Or should I just leave it with what I see. Actually, you know what screw it. Forget it I don't want to hear it," Katsuki turned sharply on his heel, his hands slowly sparking away. Before I could even register what I was doing, Keigo and I harshly shoved the bookcase into the wall before I raced to the apartment doorway and covered it with my body. Both Izuku and Kacchan stopped in shock at how quickly I moved. I glared daggers at Katsuki, "I recommend you back the fuck away from this doorway unless you want to get blasted," Katsuki snapped, his eyes blazing. Before either of them could move I aggressively kicked them back and slammed the door shut, my back to them as I tried my hardest to keep from revealing my wings and making my movements even quicker. Keigo caught them and lightly held them by their shirts to keep them still. "Alright listen here you two. Keigo isn't my 'cheating lover' he's my brother. Keigo Takami. Kaori Takami. Ring a bell? Doubt it does. Now before you go assuming shit. He's here alive because I got to his apartment in time to fight off Phantom and save Keigo. They stabbed his stomach so I patched him up and brought him here. Where he told me our blood relationship. If you don't believe me, then look at the scar on his stomach along with the similarities between him and I. Along with that, there's a scar on my arm caused by one of his feathers when we were kids," I finished explaining with a huff, my arms crossed with anger and annoyance. At myself for the lies flowing from my mouth, at the situation for what they saw, at the Creed for pushing me into this situation, and at them for assuming. But I couldn't blame them, what they saw could very well be cheating. I slowly opened my eyes as Keigo let go of them and moved to stand beside me, he lifted his shirt to show his new scar from our encounter.  While I lifted my sleeve to show the feather scar, and he held his feather blade to it to show it's resemblance. Izuku and Katsuki stared at us with wide eyes, as they recognized the same skin color between Kei and I, the eye shape, the slight hair resemblance and our body shape. My wings were hidden so they couldn't see the wing resemblance as well. But they got the point. I knew Izuku believed me word for word, but I could slightly pick up on Katsuki's doubt. "She's telling the truth. She's my little sister. We have the same mother and father. But we don't have records to prove that. Since she was kidnapped from our home when she was three and I was ten, when I was rescued by Endeavor, I left out all mention of her to the Hero Public Safety Commission. I always assumed she was killed or dead so I didn't see the reason to mention her to the commission. It would only give them... something else to manipulate me with..." Keigo admitted, growling underneath his breath at the mention of the Safety Commission. "To answer those looks at your face, I didn't even know I had a brother. That was kept from me. I discovered that my real name was Kaori Takami when he told me. I was always told my name was Dove. Also, I had no idea that my father was a serial killer, yet alone that he was alive. Our mother died after giving birth to me, Keigo raised me until I was three, when I was kidnapped. I discovered that everything I ever knew was a lie. I didn't want to tell you any of this, because if the assassins discover he's alive, then they'll come here. So to protect him, I didn't tell you anything," I explained looking from one to the other. I could see the emotions of guilt and sadness on Izuku's face. It was hard, but I could pick up on the shame and guilt in Katsuki's face too, through his eyes. I sighed, slowly looking at the floor before looking up to Keigo smiling at me, "Now that that's cleared up. Izu, Kacchan, meet my older brother. Keigo Takami." I gently introduced him as he stretched out his wings to wrap around my shoulders, of course, he went slowly this time. Both of us shared a little chuckle as he watched his wings move. "I still can't believe you'd be stupid enough to stretch out your wings by a bookshelf! Oh, you're cleaning up the books by the way," I smirked at him. He blushed and scratched the back of his neck, "Aww, come on kid, don't be like that," he whined. I rolled my eyes and lightly shoved him, "You're a dork," I smiled as he scoffed and grumbled complaints. "A cute dork," he winked at me before strutting towards the pile of books by the bookcase. "Yeah, yeah, whatever you say," I rolled my eyes again at Izu and Kacchan before walking towards them. "Sorry about not telling you, but I only wanted to protect him. He's all I have left now," I mumbled the last part before moving to help Keigo clean up the books. "Wait a second, your father is a serial killer?" Kacchan muttered as I picked up a pile of books from the larger pile and gently organized them on the bookcase. "Yep. You can find him under Killer Takami. He's the one with the double personality Quirk," Keigo said nonchalantly. "Hold the fuck up! Double personality Quirk?! You mean to tell me I get that from my serial killer of a father!?!" I exclaimed, dropping all of the books I was holding onto Keigo's head. "Ow! What the hell kid?!" Keigo exclaimed, pouting at me with a little glare. Although it didn't phase me one bit, it made Kacchan and Izu laugh. "Uh?! Hello! Answer the question bird!" I fussed, still exasperated. "No! You're not the one who just had a pile of books dropped on their head!" He growled back, the fake hurt and despair was very convincing. I scoffed, "You have a point there... but still!". He growled back glaring at me, the pout still present. "Yes that's where you got it from. Our dad's Quirk is called Fierce Shadow. It gives him the ability to release a dark shadow version of himself that had the ability to clone itself into as many as he wanted and he could telekinetically control them. It's where I get my Fierce Wings Quirk from and you get your Shadow Quirk from. Well the double personality part... and the releasing," Keigo explained, the last part he mumbled so that only I could hear it. "Ohhh, okay that makes me feel better. Heh, at least I'm not the only one who resembles our father," I shoved his shoulder playfully before picking up the books I dropped and ruffling his hair. "Eh eh eh! Don't touch! You might drop something else on it!" Kei declared whacking my hands away. I chuckled and nudged his back with my leg, "Don't test me bird... That actually sounds appeasing." He scoffed and slowly scooted away from me in the process, in fear I wasn't kidding. I heard chuckling beside me, that's when I remembered Kei and I weren't alone. It was a good thing my wings were still hidden, I had almost completely forgotten about Izu and Kacchan's presence. With my help, the bookshelf was back to normal in a few extra minutes. Keigo shot up and wrapped his wings around me protectively, "Before I let you go... if you even think about hurting her... I won't hesitate to kill you," Keigo's entire demeanor changed as he held me to his chest, his arms wrapped around me, his wings acting as a barrier separating me and the boys. I could feel their anxiety as they gulped, Izu struggled to act unfaltered, while Kacchan struggled less although I knew he was nervous from the quicker beating of his heart. And just like that in seconds, Keigo was back to normal, "Anyway, have fun kids!" He exclaimed, unraveling me and pushing me slightly towards the boys so that I landed against their chests. I gasped lightly as I recognized the look in Izu and Kacchan's eyes. "W-wait a m-minute! You can't be serious! K-Keigo help me!" I exclaimed as Katsuki threw me over his shoulder with ease and strutted to the apartment door. Izu right beside him. "Have fun~" Keigo cooed, a slight smirk on his face. "Ah!" I yelped as Katsuki reached over and slapped my butt while Izu closed Keigo's door to his apartment. "Teddybear~" Kacchan's voice was gruff with lust. "Puppy~" Izu groaned lightly with an equal amount of lust.
